Charleston – The College of Charleston’s improbable victory over the University of North Carolina was all but sealed earlier in the day when Rep. Henry Brown decided not to seek re-election. Brown has represented the Charleston area in Congress since 2001, which was the year of the Cougars’ previous victory over the Tar Heels.

Myrtle Beach – The competition for the Republican nomination is heating up in the First Congressional District of South Carolina. The big question everyone is asking, though, is ‘Where is Stephen Colbert?’

Charleston – It’s been well over a month since the movement to draft Charleston native Stephen Colbert to run for Congress launched their website, and the host of Comedy Central’s Colbert Report persists in his lack of denials. Colbert would be vying for 1st District septuagenarian Henry Brown’s (R) seat.

Stephen Colbert, star of Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report,” is remaining silent on growing rumors that he is planning to run for Congress. Were he to run, he would likely seek to unseat incumbent Republican Henry Brown in the first congressional district, a district that includes Charleston, Colbert’s hometown.
